York Dial & Ride service

Dial & Ride

What is Dial & Ride?
Dial and Ride is York's bus service which takes over where public transport stops providing travel options for York residents who are elderly or disabled and have no other means of travelling. With friendly, helpful staff we offer a door-to-door service taking you from home to major supermarkets and shopping centres. Drivers will assist the passengers with their shopping and buses are equipped for people who have difficulty walking and for those who use wheelchairs.

The service will be run alongside government guidelines with all precautionary measures put into place to ensure the safety of our customers and drivers. If you require any further information please call a member of staff for assistance.

York Wheels Ltd runs the Dial & Ride service in the City under a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the City of York Council.
